John Weber, of Moscow, died on Wednesday, November 08, 2017, in Moscow following a difficult battle with cancer. He was 70.

Allyn Woerman sent along a note with a comment about a classmate that has long since left is... Below is Allyn's note:

Yesterday Linda (who is in Moscow for family business) was contacted by the new next door neighbor to her parent’s house on A street. The new people are stripping walls for new wall paper and pain and uncovered the name of one of our classmates written on the wall in 1963: John Patton Baker Jr.

Since John has long since passed away just wondering if this might be a good memorial for him.

I don't really feel that old so I'm opting for someone made a mistake !

First off I want to Thank Bill and Connie for this fantastic website, the time and energy it takes to maintain something like this has just got to be staggering ! Thank you so much !

Next I want to thank all of our fellow committee members, for the giving of their talents, time,and energy in putting something like this together. I have really enjoyed doing the small part I have contributed. It has really been fun working with all of you !

Soo my fellow classmates, PLEASE, help us out, save us some time, keep in touch with us so we aren't spending hours and hours searching for you so we don't leave anyone out :) Send those registration forms in so we can make this ~ the big 50, one to really remember ! Throw in your dancing shoes and come join us ! If you can't dance anymore, well just come and join us anyway and listen to the sweet tunes of yesteryear!

Ray Schumacher stopped by for a visit the other day. We caught up on what's going on with Ray and he left us a picture. I put the pic on Ray's page.

I'm not sure who takes more joy in the Christmas season... Ray or his grandson Lucas. Ray has often been a Santa-sit-in but it's pretty special when you can use those skills to bring joy to your Grand kids.

Merry Christmas.... Connie & Bill

Linda Watts Newberry passed along a message from a man that was certainly part our pasts... Mr J (Stowell Johnstone). We've included his message here.

Linda,

Thank you for the reminder of the Class of 65's reunion, and can it really be 45 years. Had the invite come earlier I might have responded positively. Thanks for including an entry to the Class of 65 Web page, it was wonderful seeing grown-ups where youngsters once resided in my mind. Moscow High School students and graduates always have been on the cutting edge of whatever is current and exciting and I feel confident many of you have not only benefited society but pushed the existing boundaries of whatever your chosen fields, to new heights.

At nearly 80 years old things from the past are not always quite as clear as one would like, but as I recall your class was in Moscow Junior High when I was principal and then four years in high school. Being allowed to be involved with quality students over such a span of years was special for me and made you all extraordinarily special as well.

While leaving Moscow, one of the best places to live, was sad, Alaska has been good to me and my family. All of my children, Jim, Steve, Judy and Suzette all live in Anchorage close by as do their offspring. We have a fishing shack on the Kenai River and will be spending the next couple of weeks catching red salmon and entertaining relatives from Idaho at the shack.

I visit Moscow regularly and stopped to see Bill Olson in late June this year. He has visited the Kenai shack and I promise, if you come to Alaska the last two weeks of July, to take you salmon fishing.

Linda, it was great receiving word from you about the 65ers. I wish you all well and would enjoy visiting if you are ever in Anchorage, Alaska.

Patty and I were in Moscow a few weeks ago to visit parents. We will not be back until fall so will miss reunion. Will definitely attend next reunion. Hello to all classmates. Mike Lowe

Velda Marshall Carlson sent in a nice update and we added it to her page. She also sent along a "memory" about Mr Stephenson, the sience teacher in Junior high. We placed that on the Memory Page.

Thanks to Harriot Hagadorn and Denny Mulalley! After our Reunion Committee meeting, Harriot forwarded a bunch of nice old photos from Kindergarten and grade school. Some were duplicates of what we had but, since they were nice and big, we replaced the old ones with the new. We put new pictures on the site. Just go to the Memories Page, stroll down a bit and click on the links....

Barbara Martin Cooksey sent in a nice "Bio" update (back on the 21st of May) and In my haste to put the pictures on her page... I (Bill) forgot the "Bio". Must be one of those senior things. I found it in a little known hiding place and put the info on Barb's page.

Turns out I won't be able to come to Moscow for the reunion after all, due some personal obligations.

Please use the money I sent in for the various activities as a contribution to the Class of '65 operations fund. I feel sorry about not being able to participate, but feel good about being able to contribute in this way.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at the 50th.

Best wishes to all.

I was wandering through The Daily News and found a familiar name among the obituaries.

If you ever came to MHS and were looking for a warm and reassuring face outside of the classroom or, maybe, someone to collect your "parent prepared" absence excuse, you probably remember Agnes Weeks. Mrs. Weeks passed away on February 23, 2010.

Ken Caldwell passed along a photo of a major Moscow event....... Ken's Birthday..

It's been a while since we've added news of what's been going on around our house but.. it's time to put finger to keyboard...

Last Thursday (the 14th) we brought Bill's Mom to our home so we can give her the security and care she needs. She's 84 and her health seems to be failing.

Things like that are bound to cause a few changes and a bit of stress but... when coupled with the Cottonwood trees that are exploding up here... I chose to try a decongestant to help relieve my stuffy head and burning eyes.

We now know that any kind of remedy with a "Decongestant" included in it is a very bad thing for folks with heart issues, especially those with Pacemaker - Defibrillators. Decongestants act as heart stimulants and... with the faster heartbeat... BOOM.. My defibrillator gave me a jump start. Once the cardiologist figured out what caused the event, I received a pretty stern scolding from him and got to spend the night in the hospital.

I'm home and feeling fine, shopping, etc... I don't need to see the cardiologist for another 90 days (about normal).... but... weeks like the last one need to be few and far between.

Our little company (NetBest Internet Services) continues to grow. This week we acquired some nice shinny new high-tech hardware (dual-core, high speed servers) and I thought MHS1965.com would be a good candidate to transfer to the new machine. If you're reading this.. the new site is up and running.

This week-end (18th - 20th), Connie and I were prepaired to host a "Family Reunion" at our home here in CdA. Folks began to arive around dinner time on Friday... and we had a nice spagetti feed set in the back yard.

At about 9:00pm.... Connie's defibrulator went off and we were off to the hospital... she was released late Saturday afternoon... so much of the weekend was a blurrrrrrrr.......

Doctors tell us that the pacemaker - defibrulator has done it's job and that, as far as we know now, there's no additional damage to her heart.

We're going to have to be a lot more careful about our tendancy to "over-do".

Meanwhile.. family members pitched in.. and the family reunion was a good one.

Connie got to enjoy Saturday night and Sunday morning events... by relaxing with the family; greatful to have her home... Bill

I've added Mike Howard's obituary to his page and updated the Dedication page. It came in the mail from "A Friend of The Class of 1965". Mike passed away after batteling cancer on Tuesday, January 19th.

I've been capturing small photos of each classmate attending
the reunion and adding them to their pages. There are a few faces that I need
pictures for... (The ones I have are blurry or VERY un-flattering..) If you
have Pictures from the reunion, I'd sure love to have them. Take a look!
